He stresses that the key is to focus on what actions you are taking and what steps you are making to improve.
Larry talks about the importance of the story we tell ourselves. Often, we may have negative self-talk that tells us we’re not good enough or not smart enough. Larry calls this voice “FUD” – fear, uncertainty, and doubt. He suggests that we need to pop this voice out of our heads and replace it with positive self-talk. By changing the story we tell ourselves, we can overcome these negative thoughts and move forward.
Larry also emphasizes the need to focus on what we can control. There are many things in life that are out of our control, but we can control how we react to them. By focusing on what we can do, we can take steps to improve our lives and achieve our goals.
Finally, Larry talks about the importance of being a go-giver, not just a go-getter. He suggests that we need to give back and add value to others’ lives. By doing this, we can make a difference in the world and become a more positive force.
In conclusion, transformation is a process that begins in the mind and heart. By focusing on what we can control, changing the story we tell ourselves, and being a go-giver, we can achieve our goals and improve our lives. It’s important not to give up, even if we’ve faltered on our goals. Instead, we should focus on what we can do today to take ourselves up a notch. By taking small steps every day, we can transform ourselves and become the best version of ourselves.
